John E. Harmon Sr., President of the AACCNJ, criticized the New Jersey Legislative Black Caucus's stance against measures such as liquidated damages, disaggregating public contract spend, and setting aspirational goals for all state procurement. Harmon emphasized that the systemic exclusion of minority businesses stifles their capacity to compete: “The lack of capacity, as you stated, is underscored by the lack of inclusion. You can’t build capacity if you don’t get opportunities,” and continued, “We have the wherewithal to compete, we just need access to opportunity.” Reference: New Jersey Monitor 🔗Link In Bio More insights to follow.
